"You must bring Xiao Dong back, otherwise I, I..." As Yun Qing spoke, tears flowed down her face again. The incident happened too suddenly, without any warning signs, making it impossible for her to remain calm.

"Lawyer Yun, don't be too anxious yet. Let's first discuss with Xia Tian. It's almost five o'clock now; we only have an hour before the kidnappers' deadline. We're running out of time," Huang Anping said from beside them at this moment.

Xia Tian then asked, "What is the kidnapper's deadline"

"The kidnappers demanded a ransom of ten million yuan and want us to gather it by six o'clock. They will call again later to tell us where to hand over the ransom," Huang Anping explained. "However, we haven't managed to gather the money yet."

"One million" Xia Tian was a bit puzzled, "Aunty Yunqing, did anyone know that you just happen to have one million"

"I don't know; no one should know about it," Yun Qing shook her head. She couldn’t think clearly at the moment.

Huang Anping spoke up then: "Xia Tian, according to our investigation, a few days ago, when Yun Xiaodong had an argument with another child in the neighborhood, she mentioned that her mother has one million. I guess someone overheard it back then, but we still can’t figure out who the kidnapper is."

Li Yan whispered at this point: "It’s true; there was a little boy downstairs mocking Xiaodong by saying she doesn’t have a father or a mother. Then Xiaodong retorted that she does have a mother, and that kid said Xiaodong's mother is poor compared to his own mother who has more money than her. Xiaodong got very indignant and said her mother has one million. There seemed to be quite a few people around back then; I just don’t remember exactly which ones."

"Actually, since they’re after the money, this is somewhat good news. This way, Xiaodong shouldn't face any real danger. The only issue now is that we need to negotiate and stall for time when they call us," Huang Anping said.

Summer found it strange: "What's the issue with the ransom Didn't Miss Yun Qing have ten million"

"The other party wants cash. Lawyer Yun went to the bank to withdraw money, but the bank wouldn’t let her take out all of it, saying large sums require prior reservation. We argued a bit, and in the end we could only temporarily withdraw one hundred thousand." Huang Anping seemed somewhat helpless.

"What’s with this stupid bank I really want to smash it up," Summer said unhappily, thinking that keeping money in a bank wasn’t reliable at all; she couldn't even take her own out.

"Then, what should we do now What if the kidnappers don’t agree to give us more time to gather money" Yun Qing was slightly calmer but still sounded full of worry.

Summer hurriedly comforted Yun Qing: "Miss Yun Qing, don't be anxious. I'll have someone gather the money first; it should be possible to raise enough."

After saying this, Xia Tian immediately made a call, but it wasn’t to Qiao Xiaoqiao; instead, it was to Qian Duoduo.

"I need nine million in cash. Can you get it for me before six o'clock" Xia Tian asked directly.

"Six o'clock That's just an hour away. No problem, have your people start preparing now, and I'll send it over shortly." Qian Duoduo thought about it briefly before immediately giving a positive response. Although they weren’t in the capital city, the Qian family’s financial resources weren't limited to the capital; nine million in cash was quite a sum, but for the Qian family, gathering that amount within an hour wasn't difficult.

"Alright, once it's ready, I'll have it sent over right away." Xia Tian gave Qian Duoduo an address and then hung up. Turning to look at Yun Qing, he said, "Sis Yun Qing, don’t worry, the money will be here shortly."

Hearing this from Xia Tian, Yun Qing felt somewhat reassured. Huang Anping and Li Ping also believed that Xia Tian had the ability to do it and didn't doubt his words.

Summer then called Chu Yao, asking her to help find the whereabouts of the kidnappers. Although Chu Yao wasn't in Jianghai at the moment, she only needed a phone call for such matters.

Five minutes later, nearly all members of Chu Group went out en masse to start looking for the whereabouts of a little girl named Yun Xiaodong.

However, Summer's actions didn't end there. He soon called Fairy and asked her to trace the kidnappers through Yun Qing's call records. But Fairy quickly informed him that when the kidnappers were calling Yun Qing earlier, they were on the move, presumably driving a car, making it impossible to determine their exact location. However, Fairy had already started monitoring Yun Qing’s phone, so if another incoming call came from a fixed address, she would be able to immediately locate them.

"Hmm, everything is covered now; Xiaodong will definitely be found right away." With several precautions in place, Summer finally felt satisfied.

In an old residential area of Jianghai City.

A rather cute little girl is tied up and sitting on a chair, but surprisingly, she doesn't seem afraid at all; instead, she looks curiously at the two young men in the room.

The two youths both look to be around twenty years old, with somewhat haggard expressions. Judging from their appearance, it's clear that they are not doing well financially, though they may not be destitute, they definitely don't have much money.

"Ah Huo, who exactly is this little girl Didn’t you say her parents were dead and that her foster mother was just a lawyer with no connections" The slightly taller youth now looks extremely irritated as he questions the other young man.

The one called Ah Huo is smoking. He nods: "That’s right, Brother Shui. This girl’s parents were killed by someone; she's being taken care of by Yun Qing, a lawyer who is quite pretty, but has no real connections at all. I've looked into it thoroughly and am sure that it’s correct."

"Sure it’s correct F*ck! I just received eight calls in a short while, all looking for this girl!" Brother Shui roars. "Don’t you know Now every brother on the streets of Jianghai City is looking for her; how can she not have any connections"

"Brother Shui, this, this doesn't seem possible!" The youth called Ah Huo was stunned. "This girl is just an ordinary child at most; she might have some money but there's no way she could mobilize all the underworld figures in Jianghai City."

"Damn it, don’t tell me it’s impossible! That’s how things are now!" Brother Shui was unusually irritated as he paced back and forth in the room looking very restless.

"Brother Shui, even if she really has backing, we’ve already done what we set out to do. Thinking about it won’t help. There are only half an hour until six o'clock; let’s just get ready to collect our money. Once we have the money, we can leave Jianghai City right away and find a place to live comfortably. Why worry so much" Ah Huo said cautiously.

"You know nothing!" Brother Shui roared at Ah Huo. "Do you think everything is as easy as you imagine If she doesn’t have any backing, we might still manage to escape after getting the money. Otherwise, even if we flee overseas, they could still find us and take us out."he young woman who had just been introduced as Wang Jiajia; she was still a college student but would graduate this year and was currently in her internship period.Wang Jiajia immediately came inside...
